Does CBD Oil Work for Chronic Pain Management?

How can CBD be used for chronic pain?

One of the things we know CBD oil can do is to prevent the body from absorbing anandamide, which takes part in how you feel pain. When you have more anandamide floating around your bloodstream, you tend to feel less pain than you would usually.

The cannabinoid is also a very potent anti-inflammatory substance. Some chronic pain sufferers feel their pain due to a runaway inflammation process, so CBD oil would help on that front as well.

Another reason why CBD is a good choice for chronic pain is that it is not addictive like some narcotic painkillers, and researchers have noticed that the patients were unlikely to develop a tolerance to CBD. The side effects are also, to the best of our knowledge, less insidious than some other painkillers, even ones available over the counter.
